If you’re looking to get rid of your Korn, K.D. Lang, or Eagles records, don’t expect to unload them at Laurie’s Planet of Sound.
The Chicago record store made its tastes public by posting its “The Do Not Never Ever Buy List” of used albums on its Facebook page.
“It’s a legit list,” Nick Myers, Laurie’s manager, told the Daily Dot. “That was stuff that had been here for a year or two, titles or artists we can’t sell. It’s not our own personal taste.”
Myers acknowledged that despite the list’s functionality, it’s also a great compilation of music acts to snarkily thumb one’s nose at. “It was put up [online] as kind of a lark,” he said.
The photo reportedly made it to Facebook after being Instagrammed by an employee. Unsurprisingly, it’s garnered plenty of debate from Facebook’s amateur music critics.
“no journey?” asked Nikolai Nikitenko. “disturbed and korn? someone has bad taste.”
But other users were on board.
“I totally agree with The Eagles being on there twice,” Eric Allen wrote.
Hanna Montana not on the list? Britney Spears???
Man, I can’t understand why porno for pyros is on that list.
KISS? Foreigner? As Bugs Bunny says, “this mean war!” B-)
Boz Scaggs? Really? “Silk Degrees” is a classic. Got me more, ah, girls than I care to remember!
It’s all about resale value.
Wasn’t Shine a Collective Soul tune.... ?
This shop must be down on Maxwell Street er sumpthin ...:o)
Funny - I didn’t recognize a single name on that list that I would miss if I was looking for music that I would like to listen too.
I saw the Alarm open for the Pretenders in Sunrise, FL. Too many years ago.

There are still record stores?
Looks like The Dude got The Eagles blacklisted.
I was wondering the same thing about Mark Eitzel.
Gotta like how they list The Eagles twice, just to make sure they DON'T buy them...
**Hanna Montana not on the list? Britney Spears???**
I would think that this list would vary from city to city. My guess would be nobody in Chicago owns a Hanna Montana or a Britney Spears CD to try to sell.

Does this thread violate something?
Eagles on the list twice... these guys are probably hardcore Mojo Nixon fans.
Silk Degrees is a classic.
My favorite singles are “It’s over” and “Georgia”.
Tryin' to Get to You--The Eagles
